The Marcel Hotel in New York, N.Y., is located in Midtown Manhattan on historic Murray Hill. The hotel puts guests close to the Empire State Building and the Flatiron District, one of the most popular neighborhoods in Manhattan. A nearby subway station is convenient for visitors wishing to travel to other parts of the city.

The Marcel Hotel's 97 guestrooms offer cleverly compact designs, employing platform beds in wooden alcoves with built in shelves and lighting. Beds invite slumber with down duvets and premium linens. Wireless Internet access is available at a surcharge.

Few people know that Gramercy Park, 10 blocks from this hotel and one of the only private parks left in Manhattan, is open to the public on Gramercy Park Day, which changes annually.
